The implication of an article like this is that kids don't grow up anymore in traditional Ozzie-and-Harriet-type families (living with their mom and dad, both of whom are married to each other). This of course is absurd. In middle and upper middle class parts of Los Angeles, upwards of 90% of all kids are living with both parents. Even in Compton and Watts, the figures aren't that bad. People who trumpet the news that traditional families are dead are either (1) leftists who consider the family as a impediment to the nanny state or (2) anti-family feminists/lesbians (if calling someone a feminist lesbian isn't a bit redundant) who basically would like to see the family dry up and disappear.

OTOH, you could decide the nanny state is too great of an impediment to creating a family. I couldn't bear to send kids to a government school or to be reduced to indentured servitude without even so much as custody. These are serious disincentives to creating to a family in the first place.

It makes it a LOT easier, to just use the term "femilezi". It takes care of BOTH of the other terms(feminist and lesbian).
